Scene 33 Before the Attack
Brando glanced at the steep mountain wall in the distance, and turned back to ask Roman to put on the spider web ring. He found that the merchant lady's perception was surprisingly sensitive, and this ring could just further strengthen her ability.
Roman has been coveting this beautiful black and white patterned ring for a long time, and he is naturally full of joy at the moment, but he still asks curiously: "Is this also a magic ring, Brando?"
"Well, it can make you hear more clearly. You pay attention to the ground, and remind Freya if there is any movement. I will be back soon." Brando knew that there was another tree besides the Golden Demon Tree in this valley. The cone worm, that thing also came from the plane of the earth element. It is a rare elite in the game. Once it suddenly appeared and made him almost flustered.
"Are there any other enemies?" the two girls asked together.
"Maybe, isn't it prepared?" Brando was embarrassed to pretend to be a prophet. The key is that it will be difficult to explain in the future, so he can only answer vaguely.
Freya nodded understandingly, holding the sheathed sword tightly in front of Roman, and said, "I will protect Roman, please go and come back quickly."
"Huh?" Brando looked at her in surprise. When did this girl cooperate so much, it made him feel a little overwhelmed, but it didn't look like there was any conspiracy - he hesitated and put down the backpack, took out a roll of rope and hook from inside, and After glancing at the two girls, he carefully climbed out.
"Freya, is it okay for Brando to go out alone?" Roman asked in a low voice.
"Brando has his own plans, we can't help much, just let him not worry about this side."
"Freya?"
Freya flicked her long ponytail at the back of her head, her bright eyes revealed a serious look. She is not admitting defeat, but her own strength can only do so much - this future Valkyrie seriously thinks that her own strength may not be enough. To become the captain, she must demand herself more strictly.
She let out a breath, clutched the sword close to her chest, and made up her mind.
On the other side, Brando was advancing along the steep mountain wall with a rope on his back, and he should be tens of meters away from the gap in the impression of the stone wall. He couldn't help but took a breath and looked behind him. Fortunately, the golden demon tree and its demon servants and descendants relied on sound and magic power fluctuations instead of vision to find the target, otherwise his position would be very conspicuous.
He grabbed a protruding rock, and the sand and gravel fell along the cracks between the stones, but the sound was nothing. He was only worried that there would be a big commotion, so he kept his movements as light as possible.
It's less than thirty meters away, it's almost here.
No more soul crystals were dropped along the way, but Brando knew he had one last chance. There's a treasure in that gap ahead—no, there's something wrong with saying a treasure, too. Although the player calls all hidden places that provide items and resource rewards treasures, he knows that the treasures there are actually some relics.
According to the plot in the game, about ten years ago, a young nobleman named Bog Nasson who loves adventure came to this canyon. He escaped and hid here, but in the end he couldn't escape the severe attack and died.
He left the belongings and tokens with him, and with the tokens, he could go to Prague to complete a mission. Although the reward was meager, it was at least better than nothing for Brando at that time.
However, the property left by that little nobleman is very interesting, because it is random, and if you are lucky, you can open anything. Brando's character was the best once he had opened amber rough stones. Of course, he didn't expect this thing this time, as long as he could get a soul crystal, it would be great, because in his memory, the chance of soul crystals coming out here is quite high.
He quickly crawled into the gap,
This rocky crevice is actually very shallow, but it's hard to spot from the outside. As soon as he touched it, he saw the bone frame of the unfortunate nobleman tilted to one side. Surprisingly, every detail was the same as in the game, which almost gave him the illusion that he was still in the past world for a moment.
But Brando calmed down quickly. He carefully walked around the skeleton, and his eyes fell on a small pocket next to him. But he was slightly taken aback, because he saw a piece of dusty, dry and brittle parchment lightly placed on the cloth bag.
There is no such thing in the game.
He gently picked up the parchment, and found that it was a suicide note, with only a few short paragraphs written on it:
'Martha, I may not be alive soon. If I die, someone who is lucky enough to see this page of suicide note, I would like to legally transfer all my belongings to this person. In addition, I have a secret ancestral property, which I would like to divide into three parts, one part to this person, one part to my wife, Sadie, and one part to my daughter (later The words are blurred)...
If anyone who sees this suicide note is interested in this wealth, please pass this suicide note along with my token to my wife, and tell her 'a date at the Baden Ball', she will understand what I mean.
In the end, I am sorry to Sadie, may Lord Martha punish me—'
After Brando finished reading, he couldn't help being taken aback. He was more and more sure that he had never seen this thing before. The previous quest line was just to remove the seal on the nobleman's finger bone and hand it over to the Citizen Registration Office in Prague, and he would get a bonus. The mission line ends here, and there is no follow-up.
But what is the reason? Is it because it's different from the game? Brando shook his head. He was instinctively unwilling to believe this judgment. At least everything he found before was completely consistent, right? There was no reason why there was an exception here. So what is the reason?
He thought for a while, and suddenly thought, could it be that the person who discovered it first had such a task? It is said that there are many unique missions and first missions in Amber, but is there such a situation in dungeons? This was never mentioned.
After hesitating for a long time, he could only carefully fold the suicide note and the seal ring together, and then put them close to his body. He felt that this task seemed familiar, and perhaps someone had indeed completed it back then—but unfortunately, the section about the other party's daughter's name and home address in the suicide note became blurred, otherwise this task would be simple and clear.
But Brando didn't care about this, the more troublesome the task, the richer the reward. At worst, let's start with the citizen registration office in Prague. At least he still knows two clues—that is, the nobleman's name and his wife's name. And that's all in the future, and now he has to face his own problems.
After collecting the suicide note, he began to examine his spoils. There were two rubies in the sack, and some coins worth about thirty silver pieces, which was a lot of money. There was also a pipe, a flake of dark gray stone, and a glass bead. Brando poured out these things, turned them over carefully, and was disappointed to find that there was no soul crystal, which made him sigh.
If it is in the game, these gains are already quite good, but what he needs now is not materials or money, but items that can immediately enhance his strength. But disappointment was disappointment, Brando still swept all these things into his pocket, he didn't have time to check that those were useful, those were just decorations and sundries, in short, let's talk about safety first.
After cleaning up the booty, Brando took another look at the skeleton and returned the same way. Everything went well. When he returned to the stone crevice where Roman and Freya were, he saw the two girls heaving a sigh of relief. .
"Brando, you're finally back. You're not here, Freya and I are so nervous, and there is no sound around, it's quiet." Roman patted his small chest and let out a sigh of relief.
"Don't get involved with me—" Freya blushed.
"I'm just going to check the surrounding situation. There is only one patrol outside. We need to kill them as soon as possible."
"Are we going out?"
"We can also not go out, wait until later and leave from the other side of the mountain road. That can avoid fighting, but the time may be tight." Brando replied.
"How tight is it?" Freya asked.
"About two hours late."
The girl was stunned: "How far is it from here to Riedenburg?" The furthest she has left home since she was a child is about Weibin. Although Ridenburg is often mentioned by adults, it is only a Impressions only.
"Let's put it this way, if we are two hours late, we will have to race against Madara's undead army." Brando looked at Roman: "We may arrive at Riddenburg first, but the rest of the time will not too much."
"Wouldn't it be quicker if we went out and killed that tree?" she asked.
"There is a secret passage behind that, which was dug out by merchants in the past to avoid checkpoints. I read it in Prague's municipal documents. When I was still in the Prague's militia—" Our protagonist is not red-hearted Lied without jumping. But he didn't lie to Freya about the secret passage, it's just that he learned about it in the game.
Freya gave him a suspicious look.
"Is that tree dangerous?" She pointed out.
"It's very dangerous, we have half the chance of failure." Brando replied seriously, although he really wanted to gamble and kill the golden magic tree - but he also told himself that he must tell Freya truthfully how much risk they need to take, Because he must be responsible for the lives of three people.
In a team, everyone has the right to make choices for their own lives, which is the basic rule of Amber Sword. No one can force anyone.
Freya was silent.
"Roman, what about you?" she asked.
Roman shook his head: "I like to take risks, my life is to be used to do meaningful things."
Freya then looked back, and she nodded: "I understand, Brando, please take us to defeat it. If we fail, I will not regret it."
Brando smiled, he didn't expect Freya's reaction to be so big: "It's not that serious, I will tell you how to deal with it. But let's deal with the patrol team first, the six magic trees, you are already very Familiar with them, but this time we will end the battle in a split second."
Then he led the two of them to the edge of the stone crevice, and when they looked out, they could clearly see the descendants of the golden demon tree. Brando drew a range: "We lurk from here, watch my gestures to launch a surprise attack, try to slow down before starting the battle, and we must not let them find our voice."
"We have at least half an hour, so there's no need to rush."
"Freya."
"exist."
"Roman and I attack from the right, you hide under the rock on the left, and when we attack, you attack the last two—do you remember their weaknesses?" Brando let Roman and himself In fact, it was to protect her, and it was also to relieve Freya's pressure. After all, this businessman lady didn't have much fighting power.
Freya nodded. The weakness of the magic treants lies in their limbs, because their sensory organs are all on the limbs. Without the limbs, they are completely harmless. But she became a little nervous. Before they dealt with the magic tree people, they used some unexpected strategies, such as falling rock traps or something. This time they will confront each other head-on, and the battle will end in an instant-she is not worried whether Brando can do it.
But can I do it myself? Freya wasn't sure.
Brando glanced at her, knowing what she was thinking. Every novice has this kind of problem. Although Freya should be regarded as an 'NPC', she should be no exception. He thought for a while, and encouraged him: "Don't worry too much, your Fenghou half body armor is very restrained against them, you should open your hands and feet to attack—"
Freya nodded.
